Fabulous food class - We were instructed but totally hands on - and the pasta and tiramisu were amazing. Loved talking to Simon and Carolina - they were delightful and made us feel so at home, in their home.

You’ll never take pasta for granted again! - Simona was delightful and her kitchen was spacious and bright. We felt like we experienced an authentic part of Italian culture in the beautiful hills above Lake Como.

Excellent Experience!! - We just finished our cooking class with Carolina and Simona, and we could not be more thrilled! This is not just a cooking class. This is a total immersion into the Italian lifestyle of our wonderful hosts. We talked, discussed, learned, prepared, cooked, and dined on our own creations of delicious meat & cheese filled ravioli, and tasty polenta and sausage dish, and a scrumptious Tiramisu dessert. Carolina and Simona were very patient and kind while allowing us to learn and helping us where needed (and we did need help along the way). We also got to meet Charlotte (Charlie), their 1 year old mini poodle, which was such a pleasure since we have two mini poodles of our own. To sum it up... Excellent cooking instruction, great conversation, and a wonderful evening spent with new friends. Thank you very much!!

Best Como Cooking Experience! - Cooking with Simona was a wonderful experience. The stories shared, learning the culture, and the food were priceless. We were picked up by Simona and her father and taken to their beautiful home where we made homemade pasta from scratch along with dessert. Simona mother made her homemade sauce and it was by far the best sauce we have ever had in our lives. We had such a great time and only wish it didn’t end as we had so much fun. If you are looking for an intimate experience this is definitely it.

Dinner with Anna - Anna was a delight. She worked so hard to ensure each guest was happy and well taken care of. Best tiramisu ever! And the golden risotto was fantastic as well. What a fun evening. If you feel lost finding the location just call and they will come find you!

Good food - great experience! - We attended the 3 recipes cooking class with my husband, my cousin and her husband. There were six of us in total, an appropriate amount for the space in use. Debora was a wonderful host, she made us feel very welcome and she spoke good English. Her kitchen was clean and nicely decorated and it was easy to follow the instructions. The view was magnificent, as was the location up in the hillside. We also learned much about Como and the local way of life. Very nice evening. A strong recommendation from us! -Marjukka

Wonderful evening - Deborah was an amazing host. We had a difficult time finding the location due to the lack of taxi but she never made us feel like we put them behind. Her knowledge of food and wine was excellent and we took away so many pearls on cooking and loved hearing about her family and her “helicopter” story. Where there’s a will there’s a way. Wonderful evening and just and we made a new friend in Como. ❤️
